"That's great!  We were watching some coverage of this last night, and it annoyed me so much to keep hearing people say that they were blessed by God in their survival. So God was on your side, but not on the side of any of those that died…"

Daniel Rockwell replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Does every living animal have a consciousness?'
"I believe that in some form, as you have defined it, most animals do have a consciousness.  They are aware of their surroundings, and their own state, and are able to make judgments based on those conditions. But, as also pointed out, there are…"

Daniel Rockwell replied to Melvinotis's discussion 'How to acknowledge good fortune?'
"It's kind of funny.  I've thought about this in my own situation as well. My life has its due share of hardships (mostly financial, but mostly self-inflicted, or unavoidable), but the good has far outweighed the bad.  I've…"

Holo Gram replied to Unseen's discussion 'The suburbs are becoming the new slums'
"ahh yes, Atlanta McMansions. When I was growing up, our 1840s house was a mile from the nearest house. Nothing but trees and brush as far as the eye could see. My only entertainment was the holes in my pockets."

Welcome to TA

Our Radio Show



This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!

And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"?

Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page.
